Question:

572 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an application for a medical card for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny will be expedited. [11569/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of a medical card is, by legislation, a matter for the chief executive officer of the relevant health authority. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive of the South Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
